Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
Consumers are the ones that are going to decide this one. And pretty quickly. Once BlueRay hits Nov 17th. It should take about 10 months for the debate to shake out. PS3 sales should spur HDTV adoption. Which in turn will spur BlueRay use and sales. Every PS3 sold is a Blue Ray device from the get go, Every 360 is not. Those numbers are going to rack up pretty fast. HD DVD on the other hand has to outsell everyone else in the market. Beat all of their combined ad sales and get theri message out over the commercials of 7 other movie studios. Just finding enough HD DVD's is going to become a problem. Not to mention old catalogs of films.
